Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Shizhou, when did this happen?"

Pei Shizhou received a call from Zhou Wenbin and learned about what had happened at the Xia family. After Xia Yichu returned home from school, he told her about it. Xia Yichu was very surprised after hearing what he said.

In his previous life, none of these things happened to Xia Zhiqian. He and Zhou Miaoying had a very good relationship, and before her death, he was arguably the happiest person in the entire Xia family. As for what happened in the end? Xia Yichu didn't know.

"This just happened today. My uncle said your sister-in-law has had a miscarriage and is still in the hospital. Xia Zhiqian has been arrested by the police."

"What about my grandparents? Are they alright?"

Xia Yichu's biggest worry was the health of the two elderly people. She couldn't believe Yang Yunxia was so heartless as to scheme against her own son. What good would it do her to ruin Xia Zhiqian like this?

Yang Yunxia's intention to harm her son is none of Xia Yichu's business, but she cannot allow the two elderly people's health to be affected by Xia Zhiqian's affairs.

"I don't know, my uncle didn't say. Xiao Chu, don't worry, if my uncle didn't say, then Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia probably don't know that Zhiqian was arrested. Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Pei Shizhou looked at Xia Yichu with complicated emotions. From the wasteland of Luosha Village to Jingyi Garden, Pei Shizhou had just received news that two schools and a hospital would be built around Jingyi Garden this year.

Gu Yunting said that someone found out he had bought two plots of land near Jingyi Garden. He planned to build a shopping mall on one plot and a vegetable market on the other.

The man wanted Pei Shizhou to sell him one of his plots of land, but Pei Shizhou refused. The man then said he wanted to cooperate with Pei Shizhou, and Pei Shizhou agreed to return to the capital to discuss it in detail.

The other party has made a lot of money by contracting mines, and now he wants to invest in other businesses. He must have inside information, which is why he approached Pei Shizhou.

His uncle just told him that he had done a paternity test on Pei Feng and Pei Zongyu and found that Pei Zongyu was not Pei Feng's biological son.

Pei Shizhou kept recalling the scene at the Zhou family's house that afternoon. He had a strange feeling that Xia Yichu had known all along that Pei Zongyu was not Pei Feng's son, and that she was subtly reminding them of this in her words.

"What is it?"

"Pei Zongyu is not Pei Feng's biological son. My uncle had their blood drawn for a blood test at the hospital, which confirmed that they are not father and son."

As he spoke, Pei Shizhou kept his eyes fixed on Xia Yichu. Was he trying to glean something from her face?

Although Xia Yichu reacted quickly, a look of surprise flashing across her face, Pei Shizhou still noticed that she wasn't actually that surprised, at least not as surprised as when she heard about Xia Zhiqian.

"I just said it casually because I thought they didn't look alike, and I didn't expect it to be true."

Xia Yichu said in surprise that things had gone so smoothly. This meant Zhou Wenbin probably didn't intend to kill Pei Feng so quickly.

Looking at her, Pei Shizhou's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Chu, did you already guess that Pei Zongyu wasn't Pei Feng's biological son?"

Xia Yichu was stunned for a moment, then realized that she might have been a little too obvious before.

"I don't know, I just think you're good-looking, and Pei Zongna isn't bad either, so how could you have such an ugly half-brother?"

Shi Zhou, I'm still worried about Grandpa and Grandma. I'll give them a call.

To avoid Pei Shizhou asking any more questions, Xia Yichu made an excuse to leave. Well, it wasn't really an excuse; she genuinely wanted to call her grandparents.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Pei Shizhou stood in the yard, gazing absently at Xia Yichu's cats and dogs, his mind preoccupied with Xia Yichu's earlier reaction. He had a feeling that Xia Yichu was hiding many secrets, especially regarding the Pei family; she seemed to know quite a bit about it.

And the land and house Xia Yichu bought will soon appreciate in value and be liquidated. It's too much of a coincidence, Pei Shizhou couldn't understand. Could it be that Xia Yichu was just lucky? After a while, Xia Yichu finished her phone call and came out.

"My grandparents are fine; they probably don't know about Xia Zhiqian yet."

Xia Yichu felt anything but relaxed after making the call. Someone had told her grandmother that she had been kidnapped by spies, but they still hadn't found out who it was.

Xia Yichu wondered if someone might deliberately tell Grandma this time as well. She also thought that Grandpa's leg hadn't fully recovered yet, and Tiezhu was taking care of them, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Xiao Chu, I'm going back to Kyoto soon. I might be a bit busy when I get back."

"It's alright, you go ahead with your work. I'll come to Kyoto to see you when I have my vacation. Shizhou, after you get to Kyoto, please keep an eye on Grandpa and Grandma for me. I'm worried they won't be able to handle the shock if they find out about Xia Zhiqian."

Xia Yichu was just thinking about how to coax Pei Shizhou back to Kyoto. With him in Kyoto, Xia Yichu felt much more at ease.

"Okay, don't worry! I'm leaving now, Song Qihang will wait for me outside."

Pei Shizhou spoke, his eyes filled with reluctance. He slowly walked towards Xia Yichu and gently took her hand. Xia Yichu looked up at him, her eyes also sparkling with longing.

"Remember to give me a call when you get to Kyoto."

I'll call you again tomorrow; it'll be a bit late when I get to Kyoto tonight.

After saying this, he gently pulled Xia Yichu into his arms, holding her tightly as if he wanted to meld her into his own body. Xia Yichu leaned against him, feeling his warmth.

After a while, Pei Shizhou released her and gently pinched her cheek with his hand.

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything, or if you need any help, you can call Song Qihang."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou kept turning back to look at Xia Yichu, his gaze always fixed on her. Xia Yichu stood there, watching his retreating figure until Pei Shizhou closed the door.

Xia Yichu played with the cats and dogs for a while before taking her clothes to take a shower. Remembering that Pei Shizhou had said he wouldn't call her that night, Xia Yichu went to bed after her shower.

Ring ring ring! Ring ring ring!

Xia Yichu was startled awake by a series of urgent phone calls. She immediately got up, not even bothering to put on a coat, and rushed to the living room.

"Feed"

"Xiao Chu, it's me. Listen to me, your grandma is in the hospital being treated. I just called Song Qihang and asked him to buy you the earliest flight tomorrow. He'll come pick you up from home."

Pei Shizhou got off the plane, intending to stay at the Zhou family's house for the night. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, the lights were still on. He assumed it was his uncle. But instead, he saw his maternal grandparents pacing anxiously back and forth; they usually went to bed around nine o'clock.

Grandma saw him say that Grandma Xia had been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment more than an hour earlier, and Grandpa Xia had called home to ask his uncle to go to the hospital.

Pei Shizhou didn't dare delay and rushed to the hospital immediately. After finding out about Grandma Xia's condition, he quickly called Xia Yichu.

He knew that Grandma Xia had escaped danger last time because of Xia Yichu, and perhaps this time it would be the same.

"Okay, how is my grandma now? Is she in danger?"

Xia Yichu remained relatively calm, though her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

"The situation is not good."

Those five short words instantly tightened Xia Yichu's heart. She fought back her tears and tried her best to calm herself down. In her past life, she had experienced too many loved ones leaving her. In this life, so far, she had not experienced the pain of separation or death, and she was quite afraid.

"I understand, I'll get there as soon as possible. Shi Zhou, do you know why my grandmother was sent to the emergency room?"

Pei Shizhou knew Xia Yichu would ask, so after arriving at the hospital, he asked Grandpa Xia.
